Jens Peter Jacobsen

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition

Jens Peter Jacobsen , 1847-85, Danish writer. His historical romance Marie Grubbe (1876, tr. 1917) deals with spiritual degeneration in 17th-century Denmark. Jacobsen's other works include Nels Lyhne (1880, tr. 1919), a semiautobiographical work about a dreamer unable to cope with the realities of his life, several novellas, and a volume of poems.

He translated Darwin's Origin of Species and Descent of Man into Danish. Bibliography:... Read more
